file sharing
 

Under Tools/Options/Sharing there is a button which seems to indicate you can "add" another shared file. Since I have all my music from various sources in a folder OUTSIDE the Limewire shared folder, I have tried on many occasions to choose that folder under "add". All I get is a "ding" sound from my computer and nothing happens. I end up having to "cancel" my way out of the area.

What am I doing wrong???

It is intended to add a shared folder... not a single file. I have used the function with success. Just navigate to the direcotry in which the folder exists highlight the target folder then click on the select button.

It is the folder "My Music" that I am trying to select and add as a shared folder (not a single file). I have tried this many times, both with the "My Music" folder and with other folders inside that folder (i.e. "Classic Rock").

I tried several things here and could not cause it not to work... could it be a rights issue? Also there is a new beta of Limewire out there have you tried it?

Hello!

Maybe the folders you are trying to share is locked and not intended for sharing.

Look at the folder's symbol does it has a open hand ?

If not then it is locked for outside view.To un lock it go to the Explorer and then highlight the folder and right click it and select Properties and from the contextual menu that appears enable the share option and the folder will be displayed with a open hand and you can then select it in LimeWire preferences as a shared directory.

Notice!

Never share the
C:\
Or
C:\windows

You also have to think about the read/write rights that the folder/catalog has only allow read and not write.
